2013 east coast fall rally

[gearheadstu]

Where is rally central this year?

I'm 50/50 whether I can make it. If so, it might just be a matter of meeting you guys on Saturday, but I'm hoping to be able to head up for Friday night too.

From the article:
"A $71,116.79 grant from the Governor's Highway Safety Office, which covers a period from Oct. 1, 2012, to Sept. 30, 2013, will pay overtime funds to the motorcycle officers"

That money is almost a year old!  I'll bet most of it has already been spent.  They might still be able to field someone on a scooter though...

And then of course there are some that are staying over on Rafter Rd the 'high rent district'.

.. thats going on this weekend (right now).. :

""troopers on motorcycles will saturate U.S. Highway 129, during Sept. 13-15, The decision to saturate "The Dragon" with motorcycle officers was prompted by two events this weekend expected to bring heavy motorcycle traffic to the challenging road. In Maggie Valley, N.C., the "Thunder in the Smokies" event will be under way and in Pigeon Forge the "Fall Rod Run" will be held.  Authorities expect to have a sobriety checkpoint established on U.S. Highway 129 on Saturday.

Bikes are loaded, Jeff's bike is 'singing' to him....it must be happy to be going to the mtns! Course mine ain't singing, it's sitting there saying omg, she's gonna ride me like an old lady!  but as a FJ brother says "It's ALL GOOD!"

We'll be leaving  home at some point today like a herd of ants.... definitely won't make it to Tellico today. I have rum cake fixin's well mostly.

I'll be in East TN next week but unfortunately on 4 wheels instead of 2 dangit! If you'll get hungry for some country hams and smoked bacon there's a place not far away in Madisonville right on Hwy 411. Benton's Smokey Mtn Country Hams has great food and has become so poplar their bacon is listed on the menu of some fancy restaurants including in New York City.  Hope you'll have a great rally and I'll seeya next year hopefully

The stars have come into alignment.  I will be coming down Wednesday -arriving late.  90% chance I'll be trailing it.  I have just made reservations for cabin #5 Wed-Sat (Sat night was not avail, so I'll tent it, or leave early...) -we'll see. 

Looking forward to it.

Leaving Tuesday Morning and will hook-up with Carey at Winchester VA. Should arrive before 7Pm.

[rlucas]

Rats. And drat.

Yet another FJ Rally fated to remain bereft of my verbose, auspicious personage, unless the FJ Fairy (no names,please) elects to grace me with unexpected fiduciary largesse within the next few periods of planetary revolution. The traditional Rally Bonfire Schottische will be one member short.

TRoy: Peach wine??? No. Peach brandy, yes. No apple beer, either. The only Peach Whine should be, "But...it's not from Jaaaaawwwjaaaaaaa..."

Seriously, have a good, safe time. Say "howdy" to everyone, and fire off a few potato cannon rounds for me. I miss you folks; it's been too damned long.

Rock - in your honor we will take turns wearing red disco boots, sipping whatever gets passed and talking at length using big and possibly made up words that nobody is 100% on the meaning.  I'm glad you're still checking in and thinking about ECRs.. Maybe Boone?

I'm planning on leaving 7ish Wed morning, arriving around 5p.   Planning to ride unless weather starts to look bad for wed or sunday.

Roughly, Richmond, to Danville, to Winston Salem to Lenoir to Asheville by midday/early pm.  
74 down to Stecoah then either via Robbinsville-cherohala or fontana-deals gap to TP TN.  

If this sounds like any part of somebody's ride route Wed, get ahold of me and we'll try to meet up.
